Giant Squids Besiege San Diego Beaches After Earthquake
Dozens of giant squid began appearing on La Jolla, California beaches on Saturday about an hour after an earthquake centered 19 miles offshore shook the San Diego suburb. Nobody can figure out why, or if it was just a coincidence. Love the perspective in the shot above.
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

Since there's not exactly a shortage of squid (understatement), tossing them back into the water, though motivated by concern, seems unnecessary.
(Full disclosure: I am not a seagull.)

Did anyone read the headline and think "giant squid" was a euphemism for something else, because I did.
